Queer B-Cademy: Emotional Space Age

How do we draw, write, paint our definition of love? In this 3 day workshop we will talk about your thoughts on relationships, love and connections in which we can feel safe and heal. Zines will be created that we will work on in a shared space. Designing templates // sharing & feedback in small groups // The zines will be exhibited at the Queer B-Cademy Festival. A zine is a self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machine.
